Does Rajon Rondo want to coach? 'Absolutely.' Would DeMarcus Cousins play for him? Well ...

In Part 1 of a wide-ranging interview with The Vertical’s Shams Charania, New Orleans Pelicans Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins discuss a number of topics, including Rondo’s aspirations to coach one day, which Cousins is on board with — for the most part.

Rondo and Cousins also open up the leadership qualities that Rondo brings to the Pelicans, along with the most critical advice Cousins received from Rondo in their lone season in Sacramento. Rondo also expresses how he has adapted as a leader over the course of his 12-year NBA career and the unique perspective he brings to a franchise.
